| - As soon as you walk in this place you can tell that it's just not run well. It's apparent that they put a lot of money into the venue and the decor is nice. It was oddly quiet and there is no audible music. For a Saturday, it was sparsely populated so word must be getting out already that it's less than stellar. The first thing I noticed is the draft selection was weak. Miller lite, summer shandy, Guinness, hop hunter which was kicked, and a couple other nondescript beers. You don't get greeted when you walk in. I stood at the door waiting for someone to seat me and didn't realize you have to walk up the ramp to the. In order to get seated. Strange. When we say we ordered a bunch of apps. Crab cake, lobster pot stickers, fries, buttered noodles for the kids, stroganoff, wings, kale salad. The crab cake ($14) was the best item but the presentation was awful. The cake was like a blob of crab and the sauce they served was like a mayo and relish sauce just splattered on the plate. The pot stickers ($14) were embarrassing. There was nothing in them and they were tiny. They also used the same may relish as the crab cake. It looked like an 8 year old made it. Frozen pot stickers from a bag would have looked gourmet compared to this dish. The stroganoff ($21) used big noodles because they were out of the egg noodles. It had zero resemblance to stroganoff. It was like boxed Mac and cheese and super salty. The kale salad was actually very good. I'd eat that again. The kids buttered noodles were buttered shells with no flavor or salt ($8). That price for a kids portion of buttered noodles is just wrong. The wings were underwhelming. No big flavor. They charged us $3 for extra tomatoes and $2.75 for soda water. For that menu it was $144 with drinks. This place will be closed by December. Avoid this place.
